Ernie’s Paint & Body Shop

I thought about giving two or three stars but really, the work they did for me was a total waste of money. I told Ernie (Jr?) I was not happy with the result and he just shrugged his shoulders and said he was sorry. My SUV had a dent caused by someone leaning or pushing against the back panel. Ernie said it would not be a big deal to «pop out the dent» and gave me what sounded like a good price for doing it. Then with a lot of determination he began to try to up-​sell me on a wax/​buff treatment which was about three times the cost of the dent repair. Since the price for the dent was reasonable, I agreed to it. In the end, the dent looked a lot worse after he had «popped it out» and was full of bumps and ridges as if they had used a hammer. He acted as if I should have known the result would not have been «perfect». Even the wax job was unimpressive. He was totally uninterested in offering any type of adjustment when given the opportunity so I don’t feel quality or reputation was a concern based on my experience. Best of luck with these guys and be very very careful.

Excellent local auto repair shop. I was in and out in 48 hrs. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to repair their beloved car. My car is special to me and I am VERY picky where I park it daily or wash it and Rich made me feel comfortable in leaving it in his hands. I hope I don’t have to repair my car again but if I do, I will be back. Thanks Rich and Ernie’s Auto for making a guy with OCD satisfied and happy. It’s not easy to do. Kudos!

Erni and Jimmy and the rest of the crew there at Erni’s Paint and Body Shop are professional, quality and easy to work with. They make the hassle of getting your car fixed a little less stressful.

Forever grateful to Ernie’s! I am a single mom on a very tight budget, dependent upon my vehicle for my work, I had an accident that left me stranded. Ernie Jr. was my savior beginning to end. He was kind and understanding of my position. He explained in detail everything that he could do to keep costs down for me. He went above and beyond to put my car back together at the lowest possible cost to me. He got everything done quickly and had me back on the road in no time. Even the cost of towing my vehicle to his shop was ¹⁄₃ what it was everywhere else. Ernie was professional and very responsive, and so far the work that was done on my car was exemplary. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

I had two incidents – one with a lost Hawaiian trying to do a u-​turn on S. MoPac, and then just a month later when a young deer did essentially the same thing as the lost Hawaiian – in two months, and both times Jimmy, Sara and Ernie Jr were friendly, fast, efficient, and just outright helpful.
The work was done in a timely manner, done correctly, and I left both times with the idea that they so much enjoy helping people is why they come across as friends helping friends rather than people helping themselves to money.
As Jimmy said the first time I drove away – Hope I don’t see you here again – I hope I don’t see them there again. But if I have to take a car somewhere it’ll be there.

Great place! I have been there twice now this year. I would go there again probably for my next fender bender. The staff it’s very friendly! Very comforting! :)

Great staff and they will go above and beyond to try and help. If you need this service in San Marcos call Ernie’s

We have had two vehicles repaired here and both times have been great experiences. They are fast and friendly and go above and beyond with their customer service first approach. I would recommend them to anyone regardless of location. Need repairs look no further than the good folks at Ernie’s!

Very professional, and my car’s repairs were completed ahead of schedule. And it looks fantastic. I do believe I have found my body shop in the area. Thanks for doing such a great job!

They are very friendly and explain things well. I was very pleased with what they did for my truck.
